Mixing fuel

CAUTION!

Never use any type of gasoline containing more than 10% alcohol by volume! Some types of gaso- line contain alcohol as an oxygen- ate. Oxygenated gasoline may cause increased operating temper- atures. Under certain conditions, alcohol-based gasoline may also reduce the lubricating qualities of some 2-cycle mixing oils.

Generic oils and some outboard oils may not be intended for use in high-performance two-cycle en- gines, and should never be used in your Shindaiwa engine.

CAUTION!

This engine is designed to operate on a 50:1 mixture consisting of unleaded gasoline and ISO-L-EGD or JASO FC class 2-cycle mixing oil only. Use of non-approved mixing oils can lead to excessive carbon deposits.

Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline with a pump octane of 87 or higher.

Mixed with 50:1 Shindaiwa ISO-L- EGD or JASO FC class 2-cycle mixing oil at a gasoline/ratio of 50:1 (1 gal- lon of gasoline to 2.6 ozs mixing oil). Shindaiwa One meets or exceeds these requirements.

IMPORTANT

Mix only enough fuel for your immediate needs! If fuel must be stored longer than 30 days, it should first be treated with a fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™.

1.Oil is a registered JASO FC classified oil and also meets or exceeds ISO- L-EGD performance requirements. Shindaiwa One is recommended for use in all Shindaiwa low emissions engines. Shindaiwa One also includes a fuel stabilizer.

Filling the fuel tank

WARNING!

Minimize the Risk of Fire

NEVER smoke or light fires near the engine.

ALWAYS stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling.

ALWAYS Wipe all spilled fuel and move at least 3 meters from the fueling point and source before starting.

ALWAYS inspect the unit for fuel leaks before each use. During each refill, check that no fuel leaks from around the fuel cap and/or fuel tank. If fuel

leaks are evident, stop using the unit immediately. Fuel leaks must be repaired before using the unit.

ALWAYS move the unit at least 3 meters away from a fuel storage area or other readily flammable materials before starting the engine.

NEVER place flammable material close to the engine muffler.

NEVER operate the engine without the muffler and spark arrester screen in place.

1. Place the unit on a flat, level surface.

. Clear any dirt or other debris from around the fuel filler cap.

3.Remove the fuel cap, and fill the tank with clean, fresh fuel.

4.Reinstall the fuel filler cap and tighten firmly.
